Two Male Actors Required for Short Film Project in Ottawa, Ontario

This short drama focuses on the interaction between a troubled, enigmatic young man and a Catholic priest who he visits with a very particular request. He needs to bury his neighbour's ashes and wants the priest to preside over the funeral in a symbolically important place located a lengthy drive outside of town.
